Moving files

[Weaseal]

I have a bunch of photos in the naming scheme 100_0001.jpg, 1000_002.jpg, etc. how would i do something like move 1000_432.jpg through 100_789.jpg to a different folder without specifying each one individually?

You can probably make use of the shells globing features to only operate on the desired range.


Me I would just try to use Perl to loop over the range and move() them, out of instinct.

Perhaps:
% mv $(ls 1000_*.jpg | sed -n -e '/432/,/789/p') /path/to/destination/folder
It should work, untested though.
